first off we had to drive 10 hours, so i was EXTREAMLY tired from the car ride, and when you get down there its the first night of the fest so you have to party...then i tried to sleep in the next morning but was FORCED out of my tent about 8am by the intense heat. It was so dam hot it was hard to even drink alchy tell the sun went down.

Here is a list of other Hippy jam-band//drug fest's id go to BEFORE i go to bonnaroo
1) 10,000 lakes festival
2) Rothburry
3) ANY show at red rocks!!
4) Summer camp
5) Waukarusa
6) Harvest fest (in minnesota put on by wookiefoot)
7) Fat fest (in minnesota put on by fat maw-roony)
8) Burning man (Its all the drugs + the camping + all the crazy ppl - all the music)

Bonnaroo is WAY over priced for all the late night shit dj acts they use. only way id pay that price again is if there where over 10 bands playing that are all capable of headlining a fest....a HOLE fest of headliners! thats what im talkin about...

ehhh i went that same year and the heat wasn't that bad. I'm from the south so I guess I'm use to that type of weather but i go to jazz fest every year and its twice as hot in New Orleans. I'd like to go to some of those fests too but they are way to far away from me... It would cost way more for me to go to one of those shows went counting in all the other expenses. There are a ton of bands i'd like to see this year:

Bruce Springsteen (why not? he's the boss!)
Wilco
Al Green
Nine Inch Nails (their live show is sweet)
The Mars Volta
Tv On the Radio
Gov't Mule
Andrew Bird
The Decemberists
Bela Fleck
Galactic
Coheed and Cambria
Rodrigo y Gabriella
Of Montreal
David Grisman
Kaki King
Portugal. The Man.

those are just the bands I already listen to, there are probably a few on that list that are good and I've never even heard of them.
